Time For Tenderness

(album: This Adultery Is Ripe - 2000)

When I awoke I lay tied to a foreign bed
Inside a house sown out of human flesh
A palace

Desolation! I can't stand to fuck these walls
Desolation! 'Cause I can't stand to fuck these walls
I can't stand to fuck these walls
Desolation! I can't stand to fuck these walls
Desolation! I can't stand to suck these halls

Desolation
Desolation
Desolation
Desolation

Tick, tick, tick, tock I watch the clock for tenderness yeah
Tick, tick, tick, tock I watch the clock for tenderness yeah
Tick, tick, tick, tock I watch the clock for tenderness yeah
Tick, tick, tick, tick I watch the clock for tenderness yeah
Tick, tick, tick, tick

Said how do I sleep when the skin I stroke
Underneath the sheets is mannequin plastique?
And I wonder where the girl who slept beside me has gone
When the faces in the photos stare with glass eyed mystique
